"Calm down, Susan. It's not even that scary. Most people wish to meet their mates on their birthday when they turn 18 but your case is different. If you know that the possibility of meeting your mate is so low then what's there to worry about? Just relax," I tried to comfort her. "It's not just that April. My mother has invited many bachelors to the party with the intent that I might get along with one of them. I don't understand, April. Is it really necessary for me to have a guy beside me to be noticed in this world when I can be independent and strong on my own," She said. "I told you about my father, didn't I? He was mated to my mother yet he left her after impregnating her. She raised me as a single mother. I just don't trust mate bonds or men. I know you would give me an example of Jason. He's a good man and I'm happy for you but this doesn't mean all men are good or the mate bond is good. I just hate the idea of the mate bond." She breathed. I surely know she hated Matebond

April's pov. "Susan seemed tense last night," I said to Jason who was driving the car as we headed to the university. "Hmmm.""I saw her going out but when she came back she had this wild look on her face as if she had seen a ghost. I tried to talk to her but she told her mom she was leaving and then she was gone abruptly," I said worried. "Shall I ask Ethan about it?" Jason asked. "What? Why would you ask Ethan about it?""Well, he had the same expression on his face last night when he left abruptly as well," Jason responded and my brows furrowed. They surely had something going on between them but it wasn't our place to meddle with their business. "No, let's not ask them anything. They are our friends. If they feel like sharing they would share it," I said though I was worried sick for Susan. She didn't even answer my call last night. Jason dropped me down the street as I walked to the university. Getting inside my department I headed to the lockers to get my books when I fou

"I heard a rumor about your blood and came looking for you here," She said, looking around afraid. My broad furrowed. Was she running away from someone? I noticed a small duffle bag on her shoulder and the condition of her clothes. She didn't look so good. "Where do you live?" I asked and she seemed scared by my question. Something sank inside me as I gently held her arm and pulled her shirt up. She has the same scars as mine. My heart stumbled into the deepest tunnel as I continued to stare at the scars. "Who?" I whispered. She was still looking around scared so I quickly let her in. I took her inside, closing the door. I made her sit in the lounge as I brought water for her. She thanked me quickly, chugging down the water. "Drink slowly, it's not going anywhere," I assured her and poured some more for her when she finished it. She thanked me after drinking. I sat beside her, still trying to wrap my head around reality. I remember that my father told me about my pack. He said w

My brows furrowed. "What do you mean?" I asked worriedly. "Three of our pack members were found dead near the territory. The pack doctor said that the reason for their death is magic. The rumor that witches are attacking werewolves is spreading like wildfire," Lily said and my heart stuttered in an unknown fear. "But the last of their kind is dead. How is it possible that they are still alive?" I asked. "I don't know if it's true or not but these rumors are spreading like wildfire. I'm afraid things would take an ugly turn if we didn't take action against it soon," She said. She seemed genuinely worried. "Don't worry Lily, everything will get better. Jason had told me that Alpha King Logan had been looking into this matter, and a week back a dead body was found in Julie's pack as well," I informed her. "I'm just scared. I'm not even taking out Oliver in the park because of the fear of these witches," She said. We talked a bit more and I assured her not to worry too much.

April's pov. "This zone is dangerous. All the medics and backups would not cross this line," King Logan said while pointing at the redline on the map. The war has already started. There was a humongous amount of pressure and tension on every single person. This war was a matter of life and death and their whole species was on the line. "What happened to the troops we sent out last night?" Leon asked, pointing to a spot on the map where they had sent the troops. "They were killed!" Alpha Antonio spat. "What?" Jason snarled. "Our plan was perfect and how is it possible that not even one of our troop members survived?" Ethan asked. "Mole!" Jason gritted. "This explains why we are being defeated on every step, they already know what we are about to do, it's like we are sending our men to get slaughtered," Leon spat. "The plan we discussed right now. If this got out. We would know that the mole is from one of us," Ethan said. "And I'll make sure to kill that bastard," Jason grate
